Houston has long been known as the Energy Capital of the World due to the massive oil and gas industry presence that helped build the city into America’s fourth-largest and most diverse community. From the first gusher on Spindletop to the Eagle Ford Shale, oil has driven Houston’s economy for generations.
What makes the city special today extends far beyond those commodities, however. Today’s Houston has its own unique energy that is sparked by a diverse and vibrant cultural and creative community. From genre-defining musicians to award-winning chefs and mixologists to world-class physicians and world-renowned artists, H-Town has a style and flair all its own.
